Different Layouts Using Panes

A pane is a separate area in the workspace. You use panes to carry out commands, navigate the system or display information. Panes can be moved, hidden, closed, and repositioned.

A pane is integrated into the WorkStations workspace and can be moved around inside the workspace. You can move a docked pane by dragging the pane in the Work area. A blue rectangle shows where the pane can be placed.

Auto Hidden Pane

An auto hidden pane is hidden in the workspace with the exception of a tab with the name of the pane. When you place the cursor over the tab the pane will expand and be visible.
